ΟΓΚΕΙΟΝ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΡΟΠΑΙΑ
Onceium (Onkeion), a place in Arcadia upon the river Ladon, near Thelpusa, and
containing a temple of Demeter Erinnys. (Paus. viii. 25. § 4; Steph. B. s. v.)
The Ladon, after leaving this temple, passed that of Apollo Oncaeates on the left,
and that of the boy Asclepius on the right. (Paus. viii. 25. § 11.) The name is
derived by Pausanias from Oncus, a son of Apollo, who reigned at this place. Leake
supposes that Tumbiki, the only remarkable site on the right bank of the Ladon
between Thelpusa and the Tuthoa, is the site of the temple of Asclepius. (Morea,
vol. ii. p. 103.) Other writers mention a small town Oncae (Onkai) in Arcadia,
which is probably the same as Onceium.
